Analysis of Have You Worn My Shoes?
If you have never worn my shoes
Then tell me why it is you choose
To criticize the path I take
Or destinations that I make
A part of life you do not know
Or reasons why I to live it so.
Don't tell me how to tie each shoe,
Since you don't see them from my view.
Regardless of their shine or size,
To judge another is not wise.
My challenges you have not seen
Nor know me well and yet demean
What you have never understood;
You were not me in my childhood!
